# Beijing tightens grip on renminbi after stimulus rally

> The renminbi has rallied as China's stimulus plans and the Federal Reserve's shift toward lower rates drew capital back into Asian currencies. The People's Bank of China has let its daily fix move more, keeping the spot rate tightly aligned with it as the currency approached 7 per dollar.
